We continually see men’s hairstyle trends that come and go every year, yet you still find some managing to hang on for years. One thing we’re seeing stay consistent are low and high fades, which provide a bit of retro and modern. Although we’re seeing a lot of specialized cuts this year combining classic elements with newer and more chic ideas.

If you’re looking for a stylish cut this year, here’s the top five to consider to stand out in any crowd.

1. High Fade With Swept Back Style

With high fades continually being popular in recent years, this style is a little more formal, though still looking professional. The fade on this cut is short, but not down to the skin. For the top, you’ll use a matte hold to avoid a messy look.

2. Short Textured Haircut With Long Fringe

You’re seeing this popular haircut as well, yet it’s for those looking for something unique in hip settings.

The long fringe might take a little time to do right, including some challenges in maintenance.

3. Buzz Cuts With Shape-Up and Disconnected Beards

A truly hip look this year is the buzzcut with a shaped top. It’s another example on how fades on the sides are still popular with new variations. This adds another new haircut trend: disconnected beards.

Various other haircuts now use the disconnected beard look.

4. Long in the Front and Short Everywhere Else

Esquire recently did a piece about popular short haircuts used by male celebrities. While they note haircuts from Leonardo DiCaprio to Tom Hiddleston, one good cut for those with thinning hair is the Alexander Skarsgard look.

This keeps your hair longer up front, then shorter in all other sections. It gives the impression you have more hair than you maybe do.

5. Disconnected Pompadours

Yet another popular style you’re seeing around is the disconnected pompadour involving a fade on the sides and voluminous top hair. As a quiff hairstyle, you have numerous options with the pompadour look. Even combed back pompadours are now universal styles, giving you chic and trendy hair for virtually any occasion.
